# Osaka #Namba #Japan #Yasaka Shrine
It is located at a popular tourist spot in the center of Osaka. As soon as you arrive at the gate, you will see a huge lion head with bright eyes and green face. This is a unique shape in Japan where there are many shrines.


First of all, Namba Yasaka Shrine is located in a residential area. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from Nankai Namba Station. If you take the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line or Yotsubashi Line from Daikokumachi Station, it takes about 6 to 7 minutes.


Passing through the torii gate, you can see the Lion Hall. At first glance, the huge lion head with an angry look and its gold teeth opening is a bit scary, but in fact it symbolizes helping everyone suck all the misfortune and misfortune into their mouths, and it also means bringing golden luck. , the meaning of luck and victory.


The mouth of the Lion Temple is a space dedicated to the stage, where Kagura is performed every New Year. The Lion Hall is not the main hall of Yasaka Shrine. The main hall is next to it, which is very different from the appearance of Yasaka Shrine in other parts of Japan. The main hall of Namba Yasaka Shrine is not bright red, but white with a light green roof, with bright Sunshine, very harmonious and comfortable.


The long-standing Namba Yasaka Shrine is a shrine that prays for the cure of diseases, prosperity of business, marriage, consummation of couples, and agricultural production. I drew a cute carp lotus for marriage. Don’t forget to come and visit when you come to Osaka.
